When I started my new life as an astranged father, I tried to do it on my own. I had no desire to depend on anything other than my own self-will. It didn’t take long for me to realize the absence of my children was affecting me more than I could have ever anticipated. And… Continue reading Medications
I have tickets to go see the Rocky Horror Picture Show this weekend. I was hesitant to mention it my letter to the kids. Then it hit me… I was my youngest’s age (14) when I first saw it. The last time I saw my children, they were 5 and 7. They are now 14… Continue reading Dealing With Time
I’ve recently joined a Facebook group that is fighting against Parental Alienation. Initially, I was excited that this group is out there supporting people like me. Then I started reading the posts calling for action. I found myself frozen with fear. I had to pause to try and understand this feeling. Why don’t I jump… Continue reading Why It’s So Hard

But I eventually found a home at the Salvation Army. They have a program for adult males called the Adult Rehab… Continue reading How I survived alienation
I came across this on the Father’s Rights Facebook page. Wonderful words of advice I have been a judge on the divorce bench for 16 years, and have watched the wreckage of the corrosive legacy of parental alienation and visitation interference play out over decades. We have no statistics for measuring this group, because the… Continue reading By Judge Michele Lowrance
From Michèle… As you may have seen, there are interesting developments going on here. If someone is looking at these posts and drawing the wrong conclusion – ie: we are actively looking for Joseph and Lucia – I want to share what is really going on; it’s called Parent Alienation Sydrome. It is child abuse.… Continue reading Interesting Developments
As a divorced parent, you worry when the other parent makes nasty remarks about you to your child. Your ex might blame you for all of your family problems and make you appear as the bad guy. At what point do mere derogatory remarks turn into a harmful psychological phenomenon that psychologists call the “parental… Continue reading Parental Alienation Syndrome introduction… here we go
